Avalar, Battlemage Legendary creature- Human Soldier Wizard First StrikeWhenever " " deals damage to a player, put that many 1/1 white Soldier tokens onto the battlefield. Whenever you cast an instant spell, you may pay . If you do, copy that spell for each attacking creature you control. You may choose new targets for each of the copies.2/4Blade for strength. Strength for fire. Fire for glory.

Here's how this will work.

1) You can post any cards that can add to the deck ANYTIME.

2) Every now and then, I will pop in and post a critieria. Entries need not follow criteria.

3) When I do come in, I will grade each entries and give it a Pass of Fail. If a card receive the passing grade, it will be entered into the deck.

4) The player with the most entries in the final deck wins.

5) You CANNOT post more than one card in the same post nor can you make consecutive posts for entries. (Meaning: if you made a post, you must wait for someone else to make a card before you can make another entry.)

Criteria 1: Smoothing out mana curve. I'm surprised that only after more than a year of playing EDH I finally realized mana curve DOES matter in EDH as well.

We are not building a set here. I'm not looking for the spikiest card but this won't cut it. This is eternal constructed format XD Verdict: Fail

Conqueror's Herald Artifact Creature - ScoutWhenever Conqueror's Herald deals damage to an opponent, you may sacrifice it. If you do, search your library for a basic land card and put it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle your library.1/1

Interesting viable ramp. I'm a bit torn how easy this is to get into play across all colors. This should probably more suitable at costing or Verdict: Fail - but in consideration.

Late RecruitsInstantExile target creature an opponent controls. That creature's controller may choose to gain up to 20 life. For each 5 life that player gains this way, put a 1/1 white Soldier creature token onto the battlefield."Didn't you get the message? The war has been over for three months." - Commander Edward Gant

The player may choose to gain life of any numbe from 1-20.

A bit too much here. That number 20 and upto and may and every 5 just threw me off a little.Verdict: Fail

Flash of Flame InstantTarget creature gets +3/+0 until end of turn. Battalion - If three or more creatures are attacking, target creature gets +4/+0 until end of turn instead.
Sure this can potentially becomes overrun. But this "aggro" card is quite one direction here. In a 100 card singleton deck, I would hope for something a bit more versatile.Verdict: Fail

Furnace StokerCreature - Human

Whenever ~ attacks, you may add to your mana pool. If you do, sacrifice ~ at the beginning of the end step.Battalion - Whenever ~ and at least two other creatures attack, you may add to your mana pool. If you do, sacrifice ~ at the beginning of the end step.

The poor worker soon had nothing left to fire the furnace with - except himself.

1/1

I would prefer you not to comment on entries before I do. You are more than welcome to challenge my judgements afterwards. But there's no rule to commenting and it's a forum after all.As for the card, I'd probably just play Skirk ProspectorVerdict: Fail

Card #2, following a non-me entry above.

Commander's Blade Equipped creature gets +1/+1 for each Soldier you control.As long as equipped creature is legendary, it has first strike and vigilanceEquip

0: Put a loyalty counter on ~ for each creature that attacked this turn.-1: Until end of turn, ~ becomes a 4/4 Human Soldier creature with haste. He is still a plainswalker. Prevent all damage that would be dealt him this turn.-X: ~ deals X damage divided as you choose among up to three target creatures and/or players.

//3

I actually liked all three of his ability. Thing is though, without haste, all previous gideon turns into a creature that is on the standard curve. 3 mana for a 4/4 haste is too much. Koth risks your mountain and still only do it at four. Verdict: Fail

Avalar's OrdersInstantWhenever target creature deals combat damage to a player this turn, that player sacrifices an artifact or enchantment.Draw a card."Our enemies are tinder for the flames of our glory."-Avalar, Battlemage

Normally this is just a crappy disenchant variant that's only redeemable by cantripping. Then the commander makes it insane.

Enchant legendEnchanted legend is indestructible.When ~ is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, return ~ to its owner's hand.

Very intriguing. Wording issues: It probably should mention "Legendary permanent" instead of just "legend". Looks soo cool. It's almost like a new rancor and insane in EDH. Is one too cheap!? omg i don't care.Verdict: Pass

Tibalt, Prince of SadismPlaneswalker - Tibalt[+2]: ~ deals one damage to a random player.[-2]: Flip a coin. If you win the flip, discard a card, then draw a card. If you lose the flip, ~ deals 2 damage to target creature or player.[-4]: Search your library for a card and put that card into your hand. Then, discard a card at random. Shuffle your library.{2}

Don't think the world is "ready" for a 1-mana PW. I especially dislike it growing at 2 since first turn. Verdict: Fail[/spoiler]

Boros Charm is an uncommon. And did not do a good job of following the trend of the other guild charms (which was a 1 mana effect in one color, 1 mana effect in the other color, and then something that both colors get for 1 mana; Boros Charm cheated and did a 2 mana effect of each color).

You are welcome to.But I would be biased seeing it a second time since I might have influenced the design rather than it being purely yours. This is a design game/contest afterall. One thing I might do is to put them in the deck anyway but it will counts for 0 points, IF i happen to really like them.

Are lands up for consideration?

Yes. I have no plans yet. But it's likely we won't be playing more than 20 basic lands. (or maybe even all nonbasic).

Are existing cards going to exist in this "deck"?

There are no plans to have any printed card included in the deck as of now.

What you say is fair about boros charm. It weirds me out a quite a bit.

Two fails...try for 3? Here's a split card for you. I'm operating on the assumption that being split adds to the mana cost.

Divide//ConquerDivide InstantAn opponent separates all artifacts and enchantments into two piles. Exile both piles. Return all cards in one of those piles to the battlefield under their owner's control at the beginning of the next end step.

Conquer InstantYou win the game if you attacked with 17 or more creatures this turn.

Conqueror's Herald Artifact Creature - ScoutWhenever Conqueror's Herald deals damage to an opponent, you may sacrifice it. If you do, search your library for a basic land card and put it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle your library.1/1

No i love to hear feedback on my comments and this is not at all egomaniac.

I agree it's a great design. Reminds me a bit of Mown's creation last year:

Cascading Waterfall (or something like that)LandYou may play an additional land each turn.

There was a huge discussion. Most people liked it. I liked it too and I liked it alot. But my grip on this and also at Conqueror's Herald is that it seems to take away a little tiny bit too much from green.

Both cards here are wonderful in mechanics and balance. It is certainly not a bleed considering how far WotC bleeding was willing to go. It just in my design point of view, ramping in lands for green is as signature to a color as counter spells for blue. So I really rather we preserve that kind of design space while there are plentyful else to explore. In any case, I like that we deck builders are sticking to Diamond, Talisman and Signet for Ramping outside of green. Or with the sad robot.

Drunken Assault InstantPut a 1/1 red Soldier token onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. Cast this only during your declare attackers step."It's only a drinking problem if it CAUSES problems. I haven't lost a fight yet"

Break the Card: A great contest run by Dilleux_Lepaire in the Cards and Combo's forums!
Support the Card: An homage to Break the Card I run on the You Make the Card forums!
Support the Card winners:

First StrikeWhen ~ enters the battlefield or attacks, creatures you control gain +3/+3 until the end of turn.

6/6

This feels really green than red white. I almost wanted to suggest giving haste instead of first strike but that would resemble Craterhoof Behemoth too much, which goes back to my first point. It also feels really stale compares to the original cycle. I liked that you followed the template exactly.Verdict: Not Pass

Interesting. If this were any other design contest, I'd give it thumbsup. But in the world of EDH, a fattie that doesn't really offer anything but beat is tough to make the cut, let alone a winnie.Verdict: Not Pass

Dry FieldLand

T: Add to your mana poolIf you control a red permanent, you may add instead.

It feels like the future sight cycle template. But it feels very weird. It doesn't fix your mana persay... It doesn't switch back easily. I like the flavor though. But our general is color heavy and I'd like to save the slot for an actual color-fixing land.Verdict: Not Pass

BogardanLegendary Land

Each land is a mountain in addition to its other land types.

a red urborg?

Urborg was such a signature land that I don't really feel it should be recreated. The machanic and its thematic effect fits black so much more. Imagine the tomb of urborg taints the whole world into darkness. Then imagine the fiery(?) Bogardan (which is actually an island) turns the whole world into countless Peaks!?Verdict: Not Pass

I LOVE the name. It should be a card. But probably not a win-con. Sorry this is totally personal preference (as if the other comments are not lol) - lets not put win-con in EDH.Verdict: Not Pass.

I will put Round 2 in a new thread for people who lost track on what's going on here and can still design for it in a vaccum.
